[nogutsnoapplepie]

Anyone see snow in LOS??

When and where?

[Explorer]

I think there's a snow playing area in Dream World.

About 12 years ago there was a very cold snap up in the north that brought about heavy morning frosts. Don't know about actual snowing though.

Ajarn may clue you in more about this.

[p1p]

Otherwise, try defrosting your Deep Freeze. Always seem to have some in mine.

I've only seen hail. That was already quite remarkable.

But for snow you need low temperatures AND precipitation at the same time. While it may be cold enough in some areas at some elevations up North-North East, those times are also during the dry season.

Why is it that whenever someone uses a Thai font in a post, as in Nogut's post, all the text on other pages and forums becomes smaller? I've tried largening the text size using the View options on the browser but it doesn't do any good.

Anyone else have this problem?

[Explorer]

no problem here but i still don't know how to write my name in Thai (gonna ask me wife later tonight)

I have seen snow in Singapore, last Christmas!!

It was a snow machine on a street corner, outside a Mall.

Just like the real thing. I was sorry my children were not with me.

I once asked a Geography Lecturer this and he didn't know so he went off and did some research and told me that the last time snow had been recorded as falling in Thailand was at Phu Kradung in Loei Province in January 1987.

He went on to explain that although it can get cold enough to snow in Northern and NEastern Thailand nearly every year, the lack of moisture in the air makes it as rare as rocking horse shit.

As said only in the mountains of Loei Province and not very often. I have seen severe hail storms here in Bangkok a few times. One was golf ball size chunks and lasted about 15 minutes. Did considerable damage. Mostly to the many Thai kids (and above) who ran out to play in it.

[dugdig]

Last year it hailed up here in Chiangrai and almost everyone had broken roof tiles. An hour after it fell a neighbor came by and asked everyone how many tiles were broken on thier houses. Every neighborhood in all the affected villages had someone who did this. The next day they delivered half of the amount damaged to everyone....from the government....free! Of course some of you out there will think this sucks since we only got 50% but I don't think there is any place in farangland where you would get this kind of service from the government. I'm talking next day service here!!!

Way to go, Thailand!!!

Yep it does get Cold there in Phu Kradung. 14c at night now already, January it will get down to single digits, and up in the mountain it may well hit Zero.

I love that area.

[Kiwi_James]

I agree Doc,

Khim was up at Phu Kradung in January 1987, she did not see snow but there were very heavy frosts, she reckons they almost died because of the cold

[ProfessorFart]

Loei Province is one of Thailand's nicest provinces.

Lets hope the smelly dreadlocks crew don't 'discover' it.

Yes Fart,

Loei is very nice, Kiwi James lives a few Kms from Phu Kradung, I also have land in the same place. It is a very very nice area, fuxing freezing cold water though!!

Hot shower is a must in the Winter months, they heat water for me in a big metal bowl...................too cold to shower for a delicate soul like me otherwise.

I am going up the mountain ( Phu Kradung ) in the New year, I will take some temperatures and some pictures and post them in the members photo gallery.

That area is really nice.

[ProfessorFart]

I tend to visit most years more for a change of climate. A truly beautiful place.

I once stumbled across a young Thai couple humping on Phu Kradung. Shit the ###### out of me I can tell you as I was just bumbling along thinking about tigers..........

[chingy_]

it been damnn hot in bkk for the last few day or week hotter than usual, i think im going to the snow at dream world, i saw a kid that pee in the snow before at dream world

Should more snow come to Thailand better teach an old Eskimo-wisdom to the children:

"NEVER, eat yellow snow!"

[jackr]

Can get cold enough on the top of the likes of Doi Inthanon but you need clouds for it to snow and when they come over it warms up and the white stuff turns to rain before it hits the ground.

Eskimo men sometimes let other men sleep with their wives. Often the point was to affect some desired outcome such as better weather or hunting conditions.

Sounds like it's the same in Thailand, except the desired out come is to get the farang's cash

Nice photo...... she looks like my wife's aunties...... perhaps there's a connection between Eskimo's and Isaan people at the time of the ice age

[Khutan]

Is that why they say "Bye Loei - Bye Loei" ???

James, you sound like a hard bitten old timer.

James, if a rich guy like you, that comes from Switzerland and has 60 Million Baht, can't spread a little happiness amongst his fellow human beings, what is the world coming to!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Khim does not look like an Eskimo from the Ice Age.

But I will tell her what you said and see if she agrees with you.

I will be back next Tuesday in Thailand, you still gonna be in Loei for a while?
